Roster set: Meet your 2014 Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners cut their roster down to 25 players (plus those on the disabled list) on Friday, even though Major League Baseball does not require teams to set official active rosters until noon Pacific time on Sunday. Finally, after a promising albeit worrisome spring, we have a clearer picture of your 2014 Seattle Mariners.

While the team is thin on starting pitchers and outfielders, causing many fans to hold their breath, the M’s made tough decisions Friday to pare down the roster. Check out our earlier report for the highlights and surprises of Friday’s cuts, plus the finalization of the starting rotation while pitchers Hisashi Iwakuma and Taijuan Walker recover from injuries.

The Mariners open the 2014 baseball season on Monday with a road trip to Anaheim and Oakland. After six games and a break on April 7, they return to Safeco Field on April 8 for the much-awaited home opener in Seattle.
